The behind-the-scenes people perform many different functions. They design and build sets, choose props, costumes, do publicity, design make-up, manage stages. arrange sound tracks and design lighting. So you see, while the actors usually receive all of the credit for successful production. there are people behind the scenes who deserve some credit, too. Every worker is just as important as the other and together they make up the show. So we would like to give special recognition to all those hard working people listed below.

The movie that will try to rattle your emotions is that crock full of excrement called, "Walking Tall." You'll never forget it! A powerhouse. Emotionally Bargain on Black Belt Last Tuesday, in the lobby of Lawrence Hall, a man well trained in the Japanese Martial Art of Shotokan Karate described his purpose in the lessons that began last Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Erie Hall. The event was well attended by a very interested group of students. The man's name was Artis Simmons, a fifth degree Black Belt. He explained the need for people, especially women, to learn a form of self defense. Many people would still be alive today if they knew how to break a simple hold. Mr. Sim mons demonstrated how. by simply moving your arm toward an opponent's thumb you can release yourself from a wrist hold. He also emphasized the self confidence that can be obtained from studying Karate. Karate students usually walk away from fights rather than staying to prove something. Karate also puts the body into excellent shape, co-ordinating the mind and the muscles. The three-hour lessons, which are sponsored by the JRC, will be every Tuesday. The cost of each lesson will be $2, payable each class. This is a discounted fee for Behrend students. Uniforms are not immediately needed, but the students that continue will need them. These classes are an extreme bargain to get your body in shape. and who knows, they may even save your life. productive kind of work, a con sequence of the environment the bands work in. In October of 1973, they took an invitation to play at the University of Buffalo coffee house with songwriter Eric Kaz. The response was good. and since that date, they have focused their time to the acoustic material they are now performing in clubs around Buffalo. When watching them perform. you get the idea that the in fluences that direct their music are many and widely varied. It's true, in both cases. Michael has the role of being the melody, rhythm, and accompanist to Debby all at the same time. It's a difficult task that Michael does well. Drawing his style from Ralph Towner and Robert Johnson who are not at all close in their manner of playing, or the time period they play in, but they both form a union of being fine guitar players. Debby's in fluences are a large and assorted number of vocalists, including Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin to name a few. Together they do a fine job of arranging and sometimes im provising their music. They perform traditional blues and ballads as well as contemporary material. The blending of their individual backgrounds and the influences of the past and present make an interesting and effective Stilts charged from beginning to end. The picture your neighbors are talking about!! "Walking Tall" is based on the true story of a young man, Buford Pusser, who wouldn't surrender to the system...and the girl who stood by him, until she was shot full of bullet holes. Any observer will notice that this theme of man against society is getting a lot of play here at the Country Club. There's no business like show business, like no business I kn0w...A1!!!!...00h! yea. Well, like I was saying, this movie is the best this year. Why even Roget said it was fantastic, orgasmic, flimsy, terrific, fast paced. and moot. Audiences are standing up applauding...well, we'll see - how many jokers stand up and clap. Same time, although it will be shown Saturday at 9:30, and Sunday at the usual times and outrageous prices. Nietsczhe says that, "Out of chaos comes order." Eat that Buford. SGA officers: Freshman class—Phyllis Zimmerman, Rick Malkin, Avis Schulties, and Bonnie Moore; Sophomore class—James -Mahlon.
